RANT
Kids in our community need a Sports/Recreation centre because kids are getting bored of staying indoors all day and not doing anything sporty
Whose responsibility is it to keep kids fit?
It is the not only the child's responsibility but the adults responsibility to motivate the children to get fit and not let them watch tv all afternoon
What are the different point of view?
The parents point of view could be that they would like to get there kids fit and keeping them out of trouble. We could have the parents support.
The kids point of view is that they want a place to practice and play with there friends and keep fit but instead of having fun by doing troublesome stuff the can have fun with friend while getting fit
Why don't we have any rec centers in our community?
We only have 3 recreation centers in Christchurch
The University of Canterbury Recreation center is 11.3km away from Mt pleasant
The Bishopdale YMCA Recreation center is 13.3km away from Mt Pleasant
The Pioneer Recreation and Sports center is 8.2km away from Mt Pleasant
Who Can Help Us !
The Pioneer recreation and sport center is run by the city council so we could talk to the city council to see if they would like to participate in this process and maybe even run some events like they do at pioneer we could even try to get someone to run a basketball competition for the bays cluster instead of parents having to drive all the way over to cal stadium for us to play basketball. This way it would make parents very happy. This could also help lots of more people in the bays cluster area to potentially get more people active. We will obviously have to go get money to build and run the recreation center so we could potentially approach the government with our rant
How would it keep KIds Fit?
Some kids like playing Football, Basketball , Netball and all those other sports. If we built a big enough REC centre we could fit a football court, A netball court and a Basketball court. These facilities can be used by anyone, of course it would keep kids fit and out of trouble, they can practise their sports in this place.
Is it Mt Pleasants responsibility or the council?
The christchurch city council is focused on the city. If we build a REC centre who will build it?
Is it Mt Pleasants responsibility or the council? If we want a REC centre Mt Pleasant will have
to help build it but not just us i think the council will have to help as well. We need to get a lawyer and then discuss it to the council. We would do a foundation
Whose responsibility is it to find the money?
The kids and the parents could maybe do a fundraiser for the money.
The council could put some money into the rec centre.
We could do a stall and make some money to put into the rec centre.
SCRIPT
Wouldn’t you think a recreation center would make Mt Pleasant and the Bays cluster area whole lot better.
Our kids need to stay out of trouble and be more active, if we build a recreation centre that would be so good for kids instead of sitting inside watching GibbHD all day (he needs subs so go sub to him). Most kids play football, basketball, netball, hockey etc. We could build courts for those sports in the recreation center? kids are not active enough in this generation Youtube, Playstation, Xbox is all kids think about these day. How are you ment to lose weight when you are putting on more than you lose. This is put down to kids not having any motivation and to parents not motivating their kids to get fit. The weather is also to blame for this but with a recreation center we won't have to worry about the weather because all of the courts are indoor.
Having a recreation center in the Mt Pleasant community wouldn't only benefit the children it would also benefit the Parents not only would it give the parent some alone time it would do the parents a huge favor by not having to drive all the way over to pioneer or cowles stadium for us to play a 30 minute game. At this recreation centre we could contact the Christchurch city council and get them to help us set up and run competitions for all schools round the bays cluster area. I know for a fact that this would make the parents a whole lot happier and less stressed, some parents won't even have to drive their kids to the rec centre because for some kids it could just be a 5 or 2 minute walk down the road, or a quick drive for others.
The ministry of health say that
32% of 15 years olds and over were obese, a further 35% of adults were overweight but not obese.
Is this really what we want ?
